Happy Fall Ya All!

Good Morning!

Can you feel fall in the air where you are? We

even have leaves turning... it's way early for this

kinda stuff! It's Tuesday and that means I have

an Artful INKables creation to share with you!

I used three Artful INKable sets on this card... Plant Prints,

On the Farm and In My Garden. All three sets can be found

in the Artful INKables store. If you've never visited the store

you should go take a look see! Not only are the stamps great

quality they are very reasonably priced! I love the leaves on this

card! I stamped my leaves from Plant Prints, tone on tone, I then

cut them out and wrinkled them up... What do you think? Are they

cool or what? Pop over the Artful INKables blog there is a new

Think INK challenge starting today!

I am entering in these challenges:

Stampin`for the Weekend anything goes

Our Daily Bread texture it

Mark's Finest Papers friendship

CES anything goes

Totally Stampalicious texture
There are 3 spots left in the Artful INKables swap on SCS!

Don't miss out on your chance to swap with some of the best stampers

out there, and to get a Design Team members card!

Our DT member and host, Tanya, has even offered up 

something a little extra for the swapper who takes the last spot!

Do You Feel the Magic in the Air?

Good Morning!

I feel Magic in the Air but I also feel FALL! We

had a whopping 39` this morning. BRRRRRRRR!

Today Marie brings us our challenge and she says

NO patterned paper on our project... you can emboss.

stamp, score but no store bought DP!

My image is Much Love and was colored with a combo of

copics and SU markers.I scored around the edges to create

a pattern.. Paper Cupcakes has all kinds of wonderful images.... 

go check them out!

Pop over to There's Magic in the Air and play along!

We would love to see what you come up with!

Anybody need Chocolate?

Good Evening!

It's the weekend YAY! Well almost for me! I have

a half day of work tomorrow! I created a CASE card

using another wheel! Check out the card Heather made

here... is that not the coolest card evvvvvv-er? I have 

several wheels that need to see some lovin so I had to 

play!

I rolled my wheel in versa mark and then in early espresso.

I then used clear EP and heat embossed the image. So

fun! Have a great weekend... have to go do my night job =)

Late,Late,Late!

Good Morning!

I am really late posting today! At least I have a card...

didn't know if I would be able to squeeze one in! I did 

this card for OLW17! I used one of my SU wheels to 

create the border!Can't remember it's name.... I'm at 

work and can't go check :) We are to keep embellies

to a minimum... I only have 3 but they are pretty big!

My picture doesn't do this card justice! The color is way more

vibrant! My flowers have sparkles!

That's it for today! Quick and simple!

See you tomorrow!

~Hugs~

Good,Good Morning!

How is everyone today? I have a 

card I created for the One - Layer Wednesday

challenge to share with you! The challenge is to

create a scene.

I used an oldie but goody image from lovely as a tree. 

I simply stamped it and my sentiment in white and there

you have it! Can't get any easier than that! It took longer
